Computing the nearest diagonally dominant matrix

From MaRDI portal





The problem of minimizing the distance of a given matrix to the set of symmetric and diagonally dominant matrices with positive diagonal is considered. Using the Kuhn-Tucker condition the authors first characterize the projection onto the cone of diagonally dominant matrices with positive diagonal and then they apply \textit{R. L. Dykstra}'s alternating projection algorithm [J. Am. Stat. Assoc. 78, 837-842 (1983; Zbl 0535.62063)] to force symmetry and, thus, solve the problem. Two different implementations of Dykstra's algorithm applied to the given problem are suggested and and their behaviour on some numerical experiments is discussed.
